I want to have a Luau Party for my birthday. Me and my friend are doing it together in June. Anybody know any good websites for party supplies?? I've already seen oriental trading.
I need ideas too. Decorations, Cakes, anything!!
I threw a luau themed wedding shower last year and ordered a lot of the decorations from http://www.buycostumes.com We decorated our living room using scene setters rolls so it ended up looking like a tiki hut. We used the thatch weave scene setter on top and bottom and used the thatched roof border going around the very top of our living room. then we added the window view scenes and the hula dancers on top of that. It ends up looking really, really good and it is amazing how it can transform a room and create atmosphere. You can check them out where I ordered them from - I used all the pieces that they have pictured on this page:

For the cake you can get a bakery to design something with a luau theme to it very easily. For favors if you are doing them give tropical flavored candy or lipgloss, sunscreen, sunglasses, a beach ball, etc. Hope this helps!

Grass skirts, lei decor (the flower necklaces), maybe an umbrella made of grass for the table, if outside, put up tiki lanterns, if outside, hibiscus flowers look good, and liven it up with some hawaiian music
